A University of Montana cell biologist has made exciting progress toward finding a way to "program" cancer cells to die rather than to grow.

Mark Grimes, an associate professor in the Division of Biological Sciences, is focusing on neuroblastoma, which is not the most common type of childhood cancer but is the most lethal.

According to 2010 data from the National Cancer Institute, approximately 32 percent of children ages 1 to 14 diagnosed with neuroblastoma died within five years.
